Legal Information
Below is a comprehensive legal analysis based on Indian law for your question.
Under West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997, a landlord in West Bengal must give at least 15 days notice before seeking eviction, and must obtain a court order for eviction. You can file an application before the Rent Controller in Kolkata challenging any illegal eviction attempt. The landlord cannot disconnect electricity or water supply as a means of eviction. If the landlord files an eviction petition, you have the right to contest it on grounds such as paying rent regularly and complying with the tenancy terms. If the Rent Controller's order is unfavorable, you can appeal to the Calcutta High Court under West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997 for appropriate relief.
